Model 3 Highland warning icon

[timnd]

I took delivery of my M3H on Friday - in general, it's fantastic. I do however have this odd warning icon on the top right of the speed limit sign:

According to the manual, this signifies a system failure, so I opened a service request - Tesla say "Please note this stays visible regardless and is not a cause for concern unless followed with other actual alerts."

I'm not really convinced by that... Does anyone else have this displayed?

Cheers,
Tim

What is the 70 in the circle? Sorry, I don't have an answer to your question, following thread.

Just got back from a test drive of a Highland. It had the same thing. You can tap there to turn the audible alerts on and off for speed warnings.

Interestingly it was off by default on the demo car but I believe legally or to get the best NCAP ratings it has to be on each time you start the car. So I think in test drive / demo mode they are defaulting it off so the car doesn’t chime all the time and put people off buying one.

Mine is the same and always looks like this. Guess it lights up if it cannot read the speed limit?

And yes, you always need to press it when starting each time if you want to silence the speed warning.

Unless you’ve got some secret test drive / Elon mode god switch. Still I know it’s legally required and I think Tesla’s implementation of this is good as it’s always in easy reach to turn it on / off. It’s buried a few menus deep on my Eletre though the latest update bongs so quietly you cannot even hear it so I’ve not been bothering turning it off anymore.

Agree that Tesla make it easy to turn off - it’s a pain in my wife’s MG4 to find it and also when adjusting the LKA.

Thanks for the replies - at least it's not just my M3

It took me a few drives to work out I could turn off the warning for the rest of the drive. I guess this implementation is about as good as possible, given the legislation.

Displaying a warning triangle for no reason seems a little daft, tho'

It's how speed limit signs are designed in the UK and Europe.

Most people I know with a highland have the same, but I agree that it's misleading to have it there all the time as it causes confusion.

In addition to above explanation, 70 MPH is also the default speed limit (in UK) for dual carriageway (i.e. with a separating median in the middle) roads

For what it's worth, I finally got the 2024.2 firmware update yesterday and the warning triangle has gone.

I suspect that the version it came with (2023.44.30.9) was buggy on the M3H - I also had issues with regularly losing my Tesla profile, which seem to have gone away.

 

[Oxid8ter]

Glad to see this is being fixed. Its just a an annoyance really as the feature still works fine.

Now you are on 2024.2.X I'd be interested to see if experience the issue others are seeing on their non-highland M3 and their MY where they lose the driver assist systems, or if it is specific to pre-HW4.

Since the last update I no longer get the warning sound, M3H. The little speaker shows as not muted. I am pretty sure if I do a 2 button reset the audible warning will return but I will wait as long as possible before I do that.

Is there an area where you can turn this "feature" off permanently? I have looked in both safety and autopilot menus, but there isn't a place to turn off the speed warning chime that I can see. Am I missing something?

Nope, its a per drive setting, so think yourself lucky it isnt buried in submenu's like other manufacturers!

Thanks.

So basically every time I drive my car I gotta hit the mute button on the speedo sign.

Yes. Not Tesla's fault though - it's EU regulations for all new cars now.

Yes mate, like I said before, be grateful they didn't hide it like many other manufacturersm

I thought that was the case but didn't mention it as I wasn't 100%

 

[ColR]

Thanks folks. I'm not necessarily a speed limit breaker, but just recently a new road opened on my commute to work and Tesla seems to think it's a 50klm zone where it's actually a 100klm limit. So it goes off every time.

I'll just hit mute when I set off for work.

I know what you mean tbh, I drive like an old man rarely going over the exact limit but on the occasion you go 2 or 3mph over it soon gets annoying.

As my Mrs is a bit more heavy footed I refuse to tell her how to turn it off as it's saving her money having it on
